The Drug Ontology Project for Elsevier - An RDF Architecture Enabling Thesaurus-Driven Data Integration

The DOPE project (Drug Ontology Project for Elsevier) is driven by the need to access multiple information sources through a single interface. In this paper, we describe how DOPE allows thesaurus-driven access to heterogeneous and distributed data, based on the RDF data model. The architecture allows for the easy addition of thesauri and data sources, and can facilitate explorations in ontology mapping and data integration.
